19. Remove Nth Node From End of List

Given a linked list, remove thenthnode from the end of list and return its head.

For example,

Given linked list: 
1->2->3->4->5, and n = 2

After removing the second node from the end, the linked list becomes 
1->2->3->5.

Note:
Givennwill always be valid.
Try to do this in one pass.
